lyrics

Beggar

Word traveled that you came around,
I heard you sing and laugh, but I lost you in the crowd.
So I stood up tall to see where you’d gone,
Then you pulled me down and you held me in your arms.

But I'm just a beggar, I'm just an empty box,
I'm just a sinner, dressed in clean clothes.
I’m just another wounded animal,
Oh, I’m just another, but you call me yours.

When the laughter stopped I could hear you breathe,
And God, I bit my nails and I swallowed all my teeth.
Yeah, I guess my shame got the best of me,
But then I heard you say that there’s so much more to be.

‘Cause I'm just a beggar, I'm just an empty box,
I'm just a sinner, dressed in clean clothes.
I’m just another wounded animal,
Oh, I’m just another, but you call me yours.
